General Aviation Threat Assessment With Countermeasures

Imagine that you are the pilot in this hypothetical scenario, and you are responsible for ensuring an international dignitary departs and arrives safely from and to both airports of your choice. You may refer to your notes, textbook, course discussion forums, and other resources (which you must reference appropriately) to complete this assignment. You will submit a 3–4 page threat assessment, in no particular format, which should include two maps (one map per page, departure airport and arrival airport maps).
